Amazon Advocacy

We work with our indigenous partners in Ecuador to stand for the rights of indigenous people and Nature, safeguarding the rainforest and working in the industrialized world to shift the culture of overconsumption that threatens their Amazonian home.

We Stand for the Rights of Indigenous People and Nature

Since 1997, we have worked in solidarity with indigenous organizations of Ecuador's Amazon to defend their rights and their homelands. Millions of acres of pristine rainforest have been protected from oil development. But all that changed in late 2013, when indigenous rainforest lands was auctioned off to oil companies.

Rights of Nature

Rights of Nature recognize the Earth and all its ecosystems with inalienable rights: to exist, to live free of cruel treatment, and to maintain vital processes necessary for the harmonious balance that supports all life.

Sarayaku

For 15 years, the Kichwa people of Sarayaku have sought justice for violations of their human rights made in the name of oil development. A July 2012 ruling could mark a bright new chapter in their story.
